So, this murder mystery begins with a murder in full view of practically everyone in the room and on the street, but strangely enough, nobody seems to have seen what has just transpired in front of their eyes. The murderer gets away, and the sleuthing ensues. But the opening scene is exactly the basic tone set for this film that many (re)viewing the film seem to fail to hear due to the seemingly louder racial overtones.
In fact, it takes just one slight "turn of the screw" to see/hear things clearly. Let's take a look at this dialogue between the two male leads with slight attuning:
And so the cat's out of the closet ...that is: bag, and the two males who entered this murder mystery sleeping together ... in the same apartment, that is, now part glances and go each his own way only to be reunited again by Chris (Chris? Oh, yes! That We-thought-you-were-a-man-Chris!) who finally sees the right lead right in front of his ... her eyes and the murder mystery is solved! How? Well, had they looked what they had had laid out in front of them all the time they would've spared themselves much fuss. But it's how they all got wiser. In their own words:
And remember, these two males had had a sword fight along the way!

- (Joe:) I didn't want to hit you that way, Charlie. But it's not normal to keep my feelings bottled up. That's it. It's out. It hurts, and there's nothing I can do about it. ............ Say something! Blow your top! Belt me! You've got the right to belt me!
- (Charlie:) You mean you wanna marry C h r i s?
- (Joe:) You wouldn't have said it that way if I were s t r a i g h t!
- (Charlie:) What are you talking about?!
- (Joe:) Look at you! It's all over your face! /.../ The thought's made you sick to your stomach!

- (Joe:) I don't know how to tell you now how I feel.
- (Charlie:) You don't have to. It's all over your face. /.../ But as for you and me, Joe ... you know, I'm just as glad as you that you finally wrapped up your own case.
